EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

atlasmb Four seasons in, I just became aware of this show's existence. After watching two episodes, I think it is mostly sad.The concept is that individuals from the U.S., who have a long-distance relationship with people they may not have met, get engaged. When their fiancees come to the U.S. on K-1 visas, they have 90 days to get married--or they have to leave the country, by law.The trend in dating-for-marriage shows seems to be speeding up the process. "The Bachelor" gives its participants mere weeks to make a life-long connection. "Spouse House" requires participants to become engaged or risk being evicted from the house/show. "90-day Fiancé" uses immigration law to accelerate the ticking clock for its five couples.What really makes this concept perilous for participants is the real and obvious risk of "catfishing". It is very much like offering someone money if they get married to a person they know very little about. Yes, there are declarations of love, but viewers can clearly see that some relationships are very suspect.In the end, viewers get train wrecks or love stories, both of which are interesting viewing. There is also plenty of drama, based on the anxieties of the participants, which viewers feel vicariously.

ChaCha44 She is so desperate for affection and anyone with a brain in their head sees that Azan's only motive is US citizenship. Nicole is stubborn and immature and I fear for her child having her for a mother. Luckily her family seems to have more brain cells and can hopefully protect her little girl. She seems to suffer from very low self esteem but there is something about her that makes me want to slap her. She comes to another country and her romantic expectations remained the same even when the cultural differences were explained illustrated her lack of intelligence and maturity. Now back home, she expects her family to indulge her by taking on potential financial and legal responsibilities. It's obvious that they already provide her with supplemental financial support. Please let me slap this nit-wit.

mardikas777 I mean, I get that it's their choice, but I still feel like a pervert when I see footage from a camera that is recording, say, some couple's struggle with their first time having sex. I keep thinking that the main reason for the awkwardness of many situations in the show is because there is a ******* camera present. My viewpoint is strongly biased, because I am editing subtitles for the show, which means it's not my choice to see this thing. I'm seeing it because I have to. I felt the urge to let it be known what I think of the show - not because of the people that it shows, I have nothing against people who get married like that, nothing against interracial marriages, nothing against taking risks in one's love life. What I have a problem with is the fact that there exists a show that takes something that's in my mind supposed to be extremely private, intimate and special, and makes it a reality TV product with all its exaggerations and needless problematizations. And who in their right mind would let a camera in their bedroom... ever? Damn, it pisses me off...This show should not exist. But I guess that that goes for many other reality shows out there.

mrscdurham-931-510333 I hate that most of the personal reviews I've read thus far have been mostly nit-picky and negative. Who is anyone to judge who we fall in love with whether an American citizen or not. There are sooo many other aspects to consider way beyond someone's citizenship status and if these couples met, got to know each other and fell in love then kudos to them. No different than any other relationship really. 90 Day Fiancé is just a show that points out the geographical and cultural differences tied to some time constraints with these four particular couples. Can't we just all agree to not judge their love? We all will either fall deeper in love or fall out of love - no matter the pairing. Time will tell. These lovely people have to figure this out for themselves and I personally admire the fact they're willing to try and have a lot of hope. This show is sweet and the couples seem sincere and very hopeful therefore, I remain hopeful for their success.
